Designed for folk and ethnic music enthusiasts, it offers a 1.5 octave range, adjustable hand straps, and a plush carrying case, making it an ideal blend of authentic sound and portable convenience. ## Description Trinity College Concertinas are handcrafted instruments and authentic reproductions of the instruments introduced in the early 19th century in England and Germany. Trinity College offers both of the two major types-the Anglo and the English models. The Anglo model is a "bisonoric" design-much like today's harmonica-where a different note is produced by the "push" and "pull" motion of the bellows. This type of mechanism lends itself perfectly for many styles of ethnic or "folk" dance music. In this style, the straps cover the entire hand. Review: Good instrument for the price - I found the Trinity College 30-button concertina very satisfactory, a reasonably priced instrument that has worked well for me for over six months. The bellows are a bit stiff, and have remained stiff, which means you have to put in some effort to maintain volume control. The buttons all work correctly without sticking, and there are no issues with incorrect pitch for any of the buttons. Eventually I will probably want to purchase a more expensive model, but for the time being this instrument serves my purposes very well. For beginners I strongly recommend the Hal Leonard Anglo Concertina Method for 20- and 30-button Instruments. Review: Came in working order - It is a well made instrument with few flaws. Some of the buttons feel off but it works just fine. ## Features - Laminated wooden endplates in light brown, simulated walnut finish - Black fabric-covered bellows with 8 folds - 30 buttons, 1 1/2 octave range, fully chromatic, air-release button to close instrument noiselessly - Adjustable hand-strap on each side - Plush lined, zippered black nylon carrying bag with fabric handle and one detachable, adjustable carrying strap ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00WOK72PA | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,157 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1 in Concertinas | | Body Material | walnut,wooden | | Brand | Trinity College | | Brand Name | Trinity College | | Color | Walnut | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 67 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00688382030602 | | Included Components | Case | | Item Dimensions | 8.7 x 7.9 x 7.1 inches | | Item Weight | 1.27 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 8.7 x 7.9 x 7.1 inches | | Manufacturer | Trinity College | | Material | Wooden,Nylon | | Model Name | 1 | | Model Number | AP-1230 | | Part Number | AP-1230 | | Set Name | Standalone | | UPC | 688382030602 | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Trinity College - **Color:** Walnut - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8.7 x 7.9 x 7.1 inches - **Material:** Wooden,Nylon - **Model Name:** 1 ## Images ![Trinity College AP-1230 Anglo-Style Concertina,Walnut - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-XHm-J9YL.jpg) ![Trinity College AP-1230 Anglo-Style Concertina,Walnut - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91M64+ULbhL.jpg) ![Trinity College AP-1230 Anglo-Style Concertina,Walnut - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91gMwAkt7bL.jpg) ![Trinity College AP-1230 Anglo-Style Concertina,Walnut - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-TN5xUitL.jpg) ![Trinity College AP-1230 Anglo-Style Concertina,Walnut - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jvzS3yBBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has anyone been really happy with their purchase of this item?

The bellows are a bit stiff, and have remained stiff, which means you have to put in some effort to maintain volume control. The buttons all work correctly without sticking, and there are no issues with incorrect pitch for any of the buttons.

For beginners I strongly recommend the Hal Leonard Anglo Concertina Method for 20- and 30-button Instruments. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came in working order *by J***H on January 2, 2020* It is a well made instrument with few flaws. Some of the buttons feel off but it works just fine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not perfect, but a good starter *by Y***R on April 29, 2021* The Good: • The instrument works just fine, definitely pleased at the use I've gotten out of it so far. Build quality isn't perfect, some parts of the body simply don't align the way they should, but it seems purely cosmetic. The Meh: • While every note works (...now, see below), they don't all have the same sound. Some of the notes sound very sharp and harsh, while others are much softer. (Think sine wave vs square wave) • The hand straps will eventually fail. The leather is simply screwed onto the frame of the instrument, and I expect it will eventually tear. • Some of the plastic buttons squeak against the wood when they're pressed, but probably fixable with simple oil • When using the air button, the air rushing in\out of the bellows is rather loud, like almost as loud as a note. • It takes quite a bit of force to open the bellows. I'd estimate 4-6lbs after you expand it more than 4 inches. • Bellows doesn't seem super airtight. I can expand the instrument in a few seconds without pressing any buttons. I can still play fine, but it seems like some of the air is wasted • Some notes require more air than others to get the reed to resonate. No issue if you take the time to learn your specific instrument The Bad: • One note was faulty upon delivery, seemed to be an issue with the reed contacting something. I solved the issue by simply blasting the note, which has (so far) permanently resolved my issue, but it could have easily been caught in QA with 15 seconds of testing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Trinity College AP-1230 Anglo-Style Concertina,Walnut - Easy Anglo 1-2-3: A Beginner's Guide to the Anglo Concertina - Pirate Songs for Concertina --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17144835-trinity-college-ap-1230-anglo-style-concertina-walnut](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17144835-trinity-college-ap-1230-anglo-style-concertina-walnut) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
